I like the Bo Hansson LP. Might dig that out later.

That was the Ralph Bakshi version

Bakshi also made the film version of the Robert Crumb underground comic Fritz The Cat

Crumb became so bored with the fame of Fritz that he had the character become a jaded, drug addicted, burned out Hollywood archetype and commit suicide.

That’s a fairly Proggy album. I bought it second hand based on the cover. Bo Hannson was an outlier of the Prog scene. Clever, but more “Walter Carlos” than proper Prog.

My wife loves it. I found the Bluray for it which wasn’t easy at the time. Now you can buy it on Amazon video and the like.

Yeah, I found a DVD someone had done and was selling on eBay (years ago now). Blu-ray! Wow lol

I can’t get the tune out of my head now.

I bought a copy on vinyl too, way back…

Very very much derided on the JRRT newsgroups, and justifiably so.

No judgement, but did you like it ?

Yep, was well into 70s electronica back then, this, War of the Worlds, Tonto’s Expanding Headband, to name but a few. Still have them all.
Pretty much everything Tomita did too…

Not a fan myself of that one. The adaptation and art are both clumsy.


More Crumb.

Why are these always awful?

The snowflake :snowflake: image is better. A bit safe, but with a timelessness, might be 1922 might be 1822 . . .
